Bus Chassis on a low loader

[Ben_Daui]

Observed this unidentified bus on the low loader trailer at North Ryde today on Lane Cove Rd going north bound, I rarely get to snap images of bus chassis as they are always moving, anyone have idea's what it is?

Remember the good old days when they would strap a kitchen chair to the chassis, and drive it to the body builder.

It appears to be a Hino, possibly an RN8J school bus chassis.

You'de certainly have all round good visibility. It would have been good to have strapped an old phone booth around the driver!!

I remember when at John A Gilbert's back in the '70's following in a car while one of the sales staff delivered Bedford chassis as described. A chair as boronia described while the driver doing a very good 'Snoopy' impersonation with goggles, scarf, pilots hat and bomber jacket - would have looked at home in a Tiger Moth biplane. A few chassis I recall were delivered that way to Glenorie's depot and others.

They were still being delivered to body builders in early 1990's as Toronto bought a few old STA leopards stripped them in their yard and had them driven to PMC in Sydney for new 160 bodies.
